It’s no secret that diverse, inclusive teams increase productivity and innovation and the value of having a variety of different viewpoints is unparalleled. Our data suggests that retraining and returner programmes are key initiatives for employers to make their teams more diverse. In the last 8 months the Council in partnership with the TTC have brought together local employers and providers to create an ecosystem of retraining and returners programmes to help Leeds employers (particularly SMEs and Start-ups) tap into this valuable talent pipeline.This working lunch will focus on providing participants with practical learnings from companies running programmes and from people who&#x27;ve been on the programmes themselves. The objective is that you finish the session with new ideas, resources and names of organisations with relevant case studies enabling your company to make returners and retraining programmes to work for you.Our events are always free and designed to be cross-organisational and cross-sector learning sessions packed with tips and tangible actions. Participants will have the opportunity to ask specific questions to panellists and to collaborate after the panel discussion.What will be discussed<ul><li>How retraining &amp; returners programmes work</li><li>Insight from people who&#x27;ve participated in a Retrain into Tech programme</li><li>How the Leeds ecosystem works and how companies can use it</li></ul>

The hostThe <a href="https://www.techtalentcharter.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tech Talent Charter</a> is a non-profit organisation leading a movement to address inequality in the UK tech sector and drive inclusion and diversity in a practical and uniquely measurable way. Our ultimate goal: that the UK tech sector becomes truly inclusive and a reflection of the society which it represents. We work at scale, addressing the tech ecosystem as a whole to drive change. We focus on the how, not just the why of inclusion.There are over 500 Signatories of the Charter and each organisation has made a number of pledges in relation to inclusive recruitment and retention practices. Although it is very much an employer-led initiative, the TTC is supported by the UK Government's Digital Strategy. Membership is free.
